Re: Emergency Supply List

I just today read the emergency lists on the FEMA website! Very helpful!

I think I just want to add one thing: If you prepare, prepare enough to last for a while! If you haven't prepared enough, it is as if you have not prepared at all.

It's also good to have a plan B. Like for example storing some things at home and some things at work or with a relative... not to put everything in one place.

Very important is to have a family plan where every family member has a list of things to do in case of emergency, where to meet if it is not possible to reach one's home, telephone numbers and a contact person with whom you can leave messages.

Re: Emergency Supply List

I like to buy some water bottles at the beginning of tornado season, but haven't yet this year. I also want to pack a bin of necessities to have on hand.

It worked out well this year, I actually got two packages of water bottles, the 8 oz size, from an event last spring, leftovers. They just ran out, I sent them with lots of lunches! I will buy this spring. Although I like to be "green" I also like this convenience.

Re: Emergency Supply List

We have a lowly fondue pot, with the lid & stand, & a second pot. With either sterno fuel or a candle, as long as we can boil water, then we have soup,oatmeal, instant potatoes, hot chocolate or hot lemonade. We also have a propane BBQ, but if winter winds are raging, the fondue pot on top of the stove will be our choice for something warm & comforting to go with all those crackers & peanut butter.
